A TEAM of cycling enthusiasts, including Bernie Hurn from Andover-based Simplyhealth, are putting their passion for pedal power into action to raise money for The Countess of Brecknock House in Andover.
The team, who all work for mutual health and wellbeing group, Simplyhealth, are donning their cycling jerseys to undertake a gruelling 366 mile, five day bike ride with the aim of raising more than £20,000 for national charity Help the Hospices and five specially selected individual hospices across the country.
The final leg of the ride will see the team calling at their last hospice, The Countess of Brecknock in Andover, tomorrow.

The team will be completing the final 77 miles of the ride, where they will be waved off by staff and patients of the hospice.
The 366 mile challenge, one mile for each day of the year in 2008, will culminate in the group arriving at the Bournemouth International Centre for the Simplyhealth Being the Difference ball.
Head of research and strategy at Simplyhealth, Bernie Hurn, said: "It is nice to be able to do something for such a worthy cause, I decided to undertake and help organise this challenge as it allowed me to do an activity I love dearly, whilst at the same time helping others who are not as fortunate as myself."
